"Like the American, they do not yearn
for the . habits ' and' customs of the
Yankee. : This is the present generation.
That now growing up, and those to come
will .be different. This : Is proven by
the readiness with which the children of
today are receiving the generous educa
tion given them by a benevolent Amer
ica In the public schools of the islands.
About 600.000 pupils are' taught in the
rublic schools each year. The Inatruo
lon is all in English and thus one of
the (treat hones of President Taft. of
the forming of a homogeneous people,
Is being gradually , realised. - There are
60 or perhaps 100 languages 'and
dialects in the Philippine Islands. Cross
a river and the word for water will
differ. - .People often 60 miles, from one
another -cannot make themselves under
stood, i While : their general customs
are the same, each of- these-scores of
tribes have distinctive racial traits and
are often, if not usually, In opposition
to one another. I think the tower of
Babel must have been near there. Nat
urally these Mif f erences and antagon
isms have been continued by this lack
of a common language. - A common 'lan
guage Is ever a bond of sympathy and
trade. - -. . - - - - - -.
"President Taft. when he first came to
the Islands ss governor, recognised the
absolute necessity of giving the Island
ers a single tongue. There was per
haps a question at first if this should
not be Spanish, but ' even a -casual ex
amination shows that only a slight per
centage spoke the Castllian. After 800
years the - Spaniards though" impressing
a veneer of civilisation on the Malays
of the archipelago had failed to make
epanisn more-than the language of -the
upper'classes. ...
- "This was.' due to a degree -to - the
political idea oi Keeping tne tribes apart,
and to prevent the implantation of those
ambitions which are born of the ability
to read the literature of a European na
tion, v- t- --.-,
English opplanta Spaniah.
" Today more Filipinos speak English
than Spanish,' although Dewey's guns
first woke the echoes of Cavlte but. 11
years ago; ' What the outcome of this
ungual development is to- be cannot, be
aid, but at least it will lift the Fili
pino from his present low plane of
thought ana habit-by -opening to him
communication with Anglo-Saxon
thought, end by . enabling him to talk
IKrltk hit f.llAV. ... .. -
."Spanish, however," is yeV the gen
eral iugu(g among tne gente una. or
the mora refined and wealthier people.
It Is the language of the courts -and
naturally the Filipinos, too old or indo
lent to adopt a new language, cling to
it tenaciously.. With the output of the
public schools, this condition must pass,
and the Filipino -youth today la fast
relegating not only Spanish, but many
dialects, to the humiliating past of
Spanish domination. - , . ' -
